I’m convinced that in our globalized world, there remains two reasons why people don’t call their friends and relatives that have spread around the world.

One: People think international dialing is expensive.

Two: People don’t know how to dial international phone calls.

Even though most people use mobile phones almost exclusively, carriers like Rogers & AT&T still impose cruel foreign long distance rates. That and the combination of the international access code”011″ and variable phone number lengths around the world are intimidating. These factors seem to form a mental block prevent people making foreign phone calls.

Boo-huckey. Enter Jajah.

Add your contact details and a smart web-site will do it’s best to see that you enter the phone number correctly. (Handy for countries that have optional leading zeros in their area codes.)

Once entered, from the Jajah website or mobile web page press ‘Dial’ associated with your contact. Jajah will dial YOU at your number (be it cell phone, home phone etc.) and when you pickup your phone Jajah will dial the other number and connect the call in a split second. Your call-display and their call-display will be correct. You pay pennies a minute.

But that’s not the best trick.

For each entry in your Jajah phone book, you can get a unique local phone number (Toronto, Montreal, many cities in the US and around the world). When you call that number from your own number, it will dial the number you setup. Call display is still correct.

So, if Rogers or AT&T gives you a boat load of local minutes, but charges you highway robbery rates for long-distance. Setup your foreign contacts on Jajah, dial the local number and pay pennies a minute for a perfect call.
